This is still GDPR non-compliant, you should have a central place to _opt-in_ tracking, analytics and other optional crap if you so desire.
- mschuster91 4y agoSo what? You can opt-in to tracking in the macOS System Preferences, pane "security and data protection", tab "Privacy" at any time you wish should you not have done so during the macOS onboarding process. In Debian, you can opt-in at setup time or any later time with a simple "dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest" (even though that one isn't fully GDPR-compliant as you can't easily read what exactly is being done from the same screen).

You cannot opt-in. You can go to `System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Analytics & Improvements` and opt-out, but the default is not opt-in.
